“Very attentive to Mojo. Mojo was very scared and wouldn’t come out of his kennel/carrier, but Thomas tried to get him out with food and toys, lots of patience! He has a very calm demeanor to help calm your pet.”
“Renee & James took great care of my English Bulldog who needed medication during his stay. The medication administration was not planned when we booked. Renee & James sent pictures and communicated concerns about my dog with me throughout his stay. My elderly English bulldog is proving to be a typical bulldog with complex needs and Renee & James handled all his needs extremely well.”
“2nd time having Cooper stay with Trudy!! This time he didn’t even seem excited to go home! He loves hanging out with all the dogs and Trudy does a great job having her home feel like his home!”
“Sophan was great! Very easy to communicate with, very clear on setting expectations and understanding from us what our dog might need or be used to. This was our first time using Rover with our rescue dog, and we had no issues at all. Our pup warmed up to her right away and by the end of her stay was already a bit attached. Thank you Sophan!”
“I’m very new to this pet sitting thing but I think overall it seemed to go okay. I needed to board her due to a move. Skye is busy checking out the new place. I would use her again for sure.”
“Caitlin was very attentive to our dog's needs and did everything possible to make him comfortable. Caitlin responded quickly to our messages, and we received daily updates and pictures. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Cindy was super nice! Also made sure we got lots of pictures and video of our puppy! Would recommend her to anyone. She was also very responsive with messages and coordinating everything! If we need it again we will definately be checking with her first!”
“Wesley was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, it was evident that Frankie was treated like family and genuinely well cared for. Wesley and his parents have a beautiful home with a secure, fenced-in yard, which made us feel incredibly comfortable. We were able to travel out of the country with complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and truly prioritized. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Wesley to anyone looking for exceptional care. I received photos and updates. We look forward to planning our next adventure and rebooking with Wesley!”
“Judy has been my only sitter and I have used her a few times. She really loves Precious and gives me updates to her day. Will only use her. I gave a tip when I came back.”
“Everything worked great with this family. I know if my dog could talk she definitely agree with me. I will certainly have you on my list for next time. Thanks a lot.”
“Daisy practically doesn’t want to come home with me after staying with Patti and Patrick! They’re in demand for a reason. I love when she stays with them because I know she’ll be well taken care of and have her own vacation while I’m out of town!”
“Mochi has the best time at Alicia and Simon's! They send us daily pictures/videos/ and updates. When Mochi comes home he is always exhausted and sleeps for 2 days!!!”
“Dogs really enjoy themselves here! It’s an open, welcoming atmosphere where dogs can play and socialize with the other pups. I love a good environment that’s comfortable for both dogs and children, and this place fits right in. They have a big backyard for the dogs to run and burn off energy, and overall it seemed like a perfect fit for ours. They’re also very communicative and send pictures, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Leza was absolutely incredible caring for my dog. We were given frequent pictures and updates throughout the day and our dog always looked relaxed and happy. I would whole heartedly recommend Leza as a great pet sitter.”
“Willow was so so happy from the minute she hopped out of the car! She bolted straight into Tanya’s home and didn’t think twice about leaving us. Tanya did a great job of balancing Willows time there and knowing what she needed. She will be happy to go back, like visiting a family friend :)”
“Meg did an amazing job watching Charlie, our shorkie who is 13 years old. We were worried Charlie would be nervous being away from us but he felt right at home with Meg. I will definitely book with Meg again the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“April was wonderful with Hurley! We received lots of updates and pictures so we knew he was being well taken care of our entire vacation. We were nervous leaving our little guy with someone we didn’t know but April put us right at ease! We will definitely book with April again!”
“our dog had a wonderful time with Julie and her family. Lots of pictures daily which I loved. I love her big backyard and that she took them for walks. I really love that she has a family at home for my dog loves children”
“My dog, a sweet pitbull mix, came back happy and relaxed. It's clear she had a great time, and I'll be relieved and excited to have a good sitter for her I can trust”

Repeat customer! Had The Littles stay with Meghann again for over a week and again so incredibly happy and grateful!! She and her kids clearly love them and give lots of affection and attention. They were in great spirits when I picked them up and didn't give me any stink-eye from being upset that I "abandoned" them lol My pups are always in great hands with Meghann and her kids!
We really appreciated Andrea’s quick responses to our questions and concerns. She was very accommodating in dealing with our pup’s aversion to fireworks. Her dogs got along well with ours, and we received daily pictures and updates, letting us know Lucky was pampered and well cared for. We will definitely use Andrea again in the future.
We loved Lindsay! She was so great with Moose, and we really appreciated the pictures she sent while we were away. We loved how she let him just make himself at home with her, took him on plenty of walks, and even let him keep a toy he fell in love with during his stay! We will definitely have Moose visit Lindsay more often!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Elk River on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,783 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elk River. About 91% of Elk River sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
